Sobriety testing for MPs and Senators, exclusion from proceedings
New regulations will allow the Speaker of the Sejm or Senate to order a breathalyzer test for MPs and Senators if there is a justified suspicion of alcohol influence during parliamentary sessions. Refusal to undergo the test or a positive result may lead to exclusion from the session, aiming to enhance the dignity of parliament and the accountability of national representatives.
